Arizona Challenge

Only 31 schools in AZ (10% of AZ schools with AP programs) offered the AP Computer Science course in 2015-2016.

Of the 438 high school students in Arizona who took the AP Computer Science exam in 2016, only 23% were female, 62 students were Hispanic or Latino, 4 students were Black, 1 student was Native American or Alaska Native, and 1 student was Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander.

There are fewer AP exams taken in computer science than in any other STEM subject area.

Of the 546 computer science college graduates in Arizona in 2015, only 15% were female.
